Tubular single row that looks like a big pipe cleaner and mounts to brackets in the valence. Mike can you comment on the large jack clips in other thread?

Kind of interesting descriptions; Hedgehog and a Pipe Cleaner. Hmmm.
Guess I'd go with the Pipe Cleaner.
Can't tell you how many hours I spent straightening out those cooling wires. Maybe it helped cool it, but since you can barely see the thing, probably wasn't worth the trouble. (Looked good though.)

I was thinking it looks like The thing my mother used to clean the tube on a coffee pot percolating brush from the Fuller brush man but I don't want anybody to think I'm that old....

Sounds like someone wants to make a cooler for a MK 2 Tiger. I've seen that done. I've never heard the series 5 cooler called a "Hedgehog". That's a unique description considering the spines of the cooler and the hedgehog also has spines..

Oh I get it like the horse guys Hedgehog boot cleaning brush . Doesn't seem to be a great design but most of us raised on lawnmower engines and VW's know the benefit gained by getting the oil cooler away from the engine . Even if that is in a Rube Goldberg like piece called a hedgehog a bottle brush from some plumbing vendor. My involvement is to help an older gentleman that doesn't hunt and peck the www.
